Can someone see that it goes up there. Tama TS206 Synth/Handclap analogue drum module Two rack space unit with two independent sounds. 1. Synth - Knobs are: Sens, Decay, Mod amount, Tone bend, Tune, Noise bend, Tri/square, Tone/noise, Level. One switch for Preset/manual setting. 2. Handclap - Knobs are: Sensitivity, Tune, Reverb level, Reverb Time One switch for preset/maunal setting. Back of the unit has one combined output. Each channel individual sound also has: Trigger Pad input, External Trigger input, Individual Output. (All are 1/4" female jacks) You can trigger this with pretty much any source from a +5 trigger to a tight patch on a synth. I've run it off a series of the TR triggers and individual outs as well as KAT drum triggers on a mouse pad, a casio CZ101 audio out, and the TSQ1000 ta ma sequencer. It seems to like louder sounds (you can always adjust the sensitivity). > Couple of questions ... > 1. Can it be triggered off of the gate of an SH101 or ARP AXXE Yes. And the audio out as well. > 2.What do they sound like? The synth part is an analogue percussive monosynth similar to the Boss PC2 but with a wider range of expression in the mod and noise areas. Can sound like a chirp or reverse explosion. Wonderful with effects. I've actually played "leads" with this by turing the tune knob in realtime. One big plus is all the combinations you can get by having a mix of the square/tri wave and tone/noise settings. kons galore means you can warp these in realtime and add a new dimension to the overall mix. A very unique type of percussion sound. The Clap part is a simple handclap with reverb. Identical to the Boss HC pedal I think. It's nice to be able to tune this if you're the type who likes to have percussion in a certain key on a track (ie: tuned bass drum and clap). Also very nice with Phat distortion. There are a number of trimpots inside that you can adjust to change the various settings. Some are kinda labeled but I don't really remember which is which. If anyone has the schematics of this baby are a list of the trimpots I'd be mighty grateful. > 3. Is it worth $49. Absolutely. They go for $75-150 these days. At $50 it's worth it just to play with and annoy your neighbors. -- Help Wanted Productions - P.O.
